Me. Clark:—For a long  time 1 have been in lhf» habit of visiting Uio Seat of Justiaeof, inv nativo counly.    IJ-.it never elided rHiintingdou briiiir up to the mind so many remini.scence.s of the past, and exciie such mingled emotions of venera¬ tion  and wouder, us  il did a  fevv duys since, when on a visit lo  your plaee.— Afier  feasting upon social   pleasures in coinpany witli two venerable friends for (-.line  lime,   1   strolled   out, and   a  few sieps carried me to the ruins of the firsl Anplo-Saxon   residence of the place.— Noi  a century lias   passed   away  since the  whoop of  the Indian   was  echoing fromihe  surrounding   hills.    The war- club and thc vvar-dauce w-ero the higliest evidences of  refinement then known lo those Aborigines, the only protectors of the unbroken and uncultivated forest.— They  are all passed   awuy.     Slovv  nnd niiluncholy tliey have   receded   through the recesses of the Alleghenics, to leave thoir   bones in   somo   lonely valley,   or bleach upon some hill in the fur vvest, in order to malie room for our   fathers, be¬ fore whose undaunted courage and unti¬ ring eflorts tho foresl fell, fruitful fields appeared,  your town began lo rise, nnd civilization   dawned.     They  loo   have passed away, and most of them are now sleeping   in their  lust   earthly  resling place.     The inodest  marble   lells that they were, und the weallh ofyour place forcibly reminds you of their powers, so indefatigably  employed  for the promo lion ofyour happiness.     Whal a field i; bere opened   up ihrough which the con teinplulivo   mind may wonder,   tire, re¬ pose, and   wonder again.    Standing, as ll vvere, in the  middle of lime,   we look back  but a few years,   and   our county was a  howling   wilderness.    Euiopean tyrants trampling in the dust the advan¬ cing   powers of  the   human   soul,   and sirong barriers vvere ihrown in the way oflhe progrcssof human liberly.    But in  due iime, that God   who   cau   bring good out of evil,  and order out of con¬ fusion,   sifted   the  nations  of   the  old World, selected from ihu  wliole a small nuinber of themost precious seed, sieel- ed llieir minds against fear, braced their nerves   fur a mighty   cnnlcst, and   lims ui-med, they defied thepower of earlhly despots,   breasted  the   dangers  of   the great deep, and ca.st themselves eu'li-ely upon   Pruvideiice for   protection.    And lo! our fathers,   like Isrnol  of  old, aro wandering   in small tribes   ihrough the interminable forests of North  America, the   objects  of scorn and  rouiempl  lo thosewho had driven them intotlie wil¬ derness.    They  were in   deep poveriy, and  destitute of  all   humuu   prutection ngainst   the    multiplied   dangers   vviih which ihey were surrounded.     But they had   an   invaluable  treasure ; they had the last boon of God to u   fallen vvorld, the sacred charter of human liberly both civil and religious ; they had   the Bible. A tender vine thus plunied and protect¬ ed   has nearly  covered  our land.    VVe number over twenty millions of inhabit¬ nnts, capable of striking terror through nny foe,  and   repelling   any   assault.— Cities aud towns have   multiplied in an unparalleled degree.     VVe bid the light¬ ning lo carry our whispers Irom city to *ity, nnd it obeys.    VVe bid another ele¬ ment  to expand,   obedient   lo our com¬ mand,   and we can  breuklast   with our family al homo, and it curries us safely hundreds of miles lo sup vvith friends in some  city on the   evening of  the snme day.    The  Press is throwing ils pnges, freighted wilh  inlelligence, upon everv breeze, and  the American   watch-word is Progress.
But how are we to look down into the dnrk vista of the future, and predict wiih certainty the circumstances of thosewho nre to succeed us. We can only judge tha eflTects of existing causes   by infer¬
ences frdm former consequences. And if we are indehled lolhe Bible and to its benevolent oulhor, for our unparallel¬ ed prosperity, nnd the respectable sla¬ tion we occupy amongst the nntions of the earth, we may fairly conclude lhat propress will be the result of proper re¬ gard for these things, nnd lhat retro- gressmn will be ihe con?<eqiieiicP of a departure from lliul chri.stinnity which impelled our pntriotic fathers to endure (Very privation suve one, in order that they inighl hand down to us such a birth right ns vve novv enjoy.

But on Ihecontrary, if christinnity is per¬ mitted to havo its full efl'ect, then we mny rejoice in our strength ; we wili realize more than we can possibly anli- cipale. This, the last hope of the world, will be the admiration of our race, lhe joy of the whole earth, from whence the divergent waves of peace and liberly and true unselfish patriotism will extend over all the enrth. And the philanthro¬ pist may then stand upon an eminence and look back upon the stream of mor¬ tality which has been flowing on since the creation of man, with mingled feel¬ ings of sorrow and awe.

like n mnn, and conducts himself in on orderly nnd gentlemanly manner. But the case is quite different when a boy trills ahout with a bold, presiimptiions air, ihinks himself equal tu his superi¬ ors, and wishes lo assume their place. Such children nre neilher ngreeable to their companions, nor vvell thought of by others. If a boy wishes to act like a man, and secure the pood opinion of others, he should know hia place, and know how to remain in it. Alcn, also, sometimes lose tlieir self-respect, and place tlieinselves on a lev;l with chil¬ dren. This aUvays betrays a weak dis¬ position. For when n m.m frequently condescends to regale himself in child's sport, however high he may hold his head, nv.d however digniiied he may ap¬ pear, on other occasions, we may knovv llinl he is a childish man. He ihinks childishly, nnd this causes him -.o aet childishly and by acting childishly he forfeits the true and native dignity of man, and loses the confidence and res. pect ofhis lellow men. Ifn man there¬ fore does nol wish to render himself re- ,illy a child, in this world, where energy and activity are so essential to success, in the great baltle of life, he should be ia place, and ncl like a man

For Ihe Hnnlingdon Jonrnal.
know Your Place.
In this world, men are not all born to the same rank. But as Ihey difler in their Iiabits, dispositions and tastes, so also they difTer in the respeclive places they occupy, and the spheres in which they move. Different tasles incline them to diflerent objects and pursuits, and different dispositions adapt them lo difl'erenl spheres of aclion. All cannol follow the same profession, nor can all occupy the same rank. Some aro al¬ ways poor, and some rich. Some are born to occupy the high pinces of the world, to rule, lo govern, and lo leach their fellow men ; while oihers are des¬ lined lo play 11 subordinate part. Every one should knovv in vvhat sphere he is filled to act, and what fosiliun he is cal¬ culated lo occupy.
There are also other difl'ercnces, in whicii It is of the highest imporiance that every one shoulii knovv bis place. Diflerence in ago, se.t. kc. adapt differ¬ eut individuaLs lo diU'erenl pusitiuns and grades III society. iMan and woman were formed to act in widely diflerent splieres. Their physical coiisiiliiiiDUA, and their whole characler, mnko men lo diller from women, and capacitate them for a diflfereut sphere. Hence uny process which makes a differeut arrnngemeiii, violates the laws of nature. By aeling thepart of a womau, a man sacrifices that iKihluness and manliness ofcharac¬ ter, which distinguishes him from the opposite sex ; ami renders himself con¬ teiiiplible in the eyes of his fellow men. In snch a man there is none of that man¬ ly energy and greatness which charac¬ terize his sex, which qualify him for grappling with the sterner realities of life and inking part in thc great affiirs of the world, for which his constiiuiion bv nnlure fits him. He is no longer lord of crealion, hut becomes weuk uud not fil to act his proper part in lhe dra¬ ma of life. On the other hand, when woman assumes the place of man, she sacrifices that modesiy nnd delicacy which are her peculiar characterislies. She was designed for a more retired sphere than man. It wns n^ver intended that she should control tbe aflairs of na¬ tions or battle on the field of politics.
The man aud the boy are designed for difl'ercnt posiiions. It is very coinmon for boys to sel themselves up for men, long hefore they have utlained to the nge und maturily of maivhood. With that self-conceit, so natural to our race, ihey think they really aro what they wish to be.and boldly meddle with men's affairs. Thai is certainly a laudable nmbition   which prompts  a boy to act

A   SCENE   AT   A   STEAMDOVT   llLNNEK.
Il happened my lot not many weeks since to   be a passenjior   on   board   the
first running steamboat, iVI , bound
from Cincinnati lo St. Louis. Among the number ol  persons in the cabin was

humor for (un, H resolved lo quiz
this as he supposed, green individunl, nnd only wailed for a good opporiunity for so doina-. None occurred ui.til din¬ ner lime, when the wag took particular pams 10 place himself exactly oppusiie the Hoosier al the lable, and soon after the company had commenced eating, he hailed him as follows :
" I say, my friend, you'ro from Hoo- sierdom, I suppose."

" Do they raise cabbages vvere you come from !"
" No bul I reckon ihey du whar ye come from."
" vv hal do you judge from "!"
"By the looks of that nr cabbage head belween your shoulders."'
Several sitling nenr H now b
gan lo liller at his expense, bul nothing (laiiiiled, he reluriied tolho charge — "Does your mother know you're oul !" he asked.
" Yes I reckon so ; shc told me to go talk to the goslii.s."
" Indeed,"   said H     , biting   his
lips; "then yuu must be a goose lo un dersland the language so vvell."
" When iiinuiig Ivumaus 1 du as Ko muiisdii," vviislheiiistani retort. "1 talk the language of ihose I'm tulkin-j-tu
" Which   way   ure   you   traveling !"
cried II , as  another   giggle   run
uround the uible.
" Dovvii the Ohio river, I reckon," and the Hoosier half filled his plale with poached eggs.
" VVIlUt business doyou follow !" ked the wag; bul instead of answering the question, the fuce of the If oosier sod denly became as red as blood, and he dashed the eonlents of his plate full into the luce nnd bosom of the wag.
Tlicre was a sudden slart among th so at the lable, which was turned inlo in slant cunfusiun, by the further move menis of Hie liidianian. Raising aloft the heavy plato iii lii.>< righl hand, he brought ll down vvithstunniii!,'-force upon the head uf the individual nl his right side, knocking him backivurd upon ihe floor, wliere he lay sprawling unable lor the mouieut lo rise. But the maddened Hoosier was not yet pacified. No suon- er had the |)lale doue Us duly upon it viclim, than bending his left arm, he brought back the elbow vvilh terrible force into the niuuth of the man nt his left side, knocking out n couple of teeth, und also prostrating him at full length, vvith his head against the door ofa berth. This done, tho Hoosier jumped up, and placing his bnck ugainst the side uf the cabin, seized hold of the chair which lie had been silling in, and blared aruund him with eyes flashing like thoso of a madman.
In the meanwhile the now Ihoroughly excited passengers had risen from the lable, thc femole portion  fleeing; into the

" You're a thief, you son of a gun!" retorled tho Hoosier in a rage. "Sarch llim captain, and if you don't find the pus oil him, why chop me up into sassa- ges and eat me for supper, tliat's all."
We must search you, sir," said the coptain lo the m^m accused.
"I won't be searched !" answered the fellow haughtily.    '-I'm a genllem-in."
"That reinains tobe seen," replied the skipper calmly. "Searched you shall be."
The man was accordingly examined, nnd tho' every pockei was looked into, till money niiswertng the description of the Moodier, was found aud lhcy were abuut giviufi it up.
'. Look in his boots!" exclaimed the loser of the purse, "lie's some kin lo John Andre, and will be hung yel afore he dies."
The left boot vvns pulled ofl, nnd sure enough, there was the mony, exaclly an¬ swer.iig the de-icription, confirming the guiitof thc gentle-man.
Upon the olher fellow the handker¬ chief was nlso found ; having the Huo- sier's name upon it, nnd the two ras¬ cals were, wiih thc permission of the liidianian, landed ashore al once. The Hoosier was   also I'or putting H
ashore, declnring that he hnd engaged him in conversation on purpose to call his altention, so that the scoundrels could rob him. But as the wag was well known to many ou board, hc was lelt ofl", the Hoosier swearing il was some s.ttis- faction lo know lhat he had .spoiled his hest ruffled shirt with the contents of his plnte. H  has never since at¬ tempted lo puke fun nt an Indiaiinn, aud doubtless the two lliievc!i are also careful how they proceed in Kot.'si.N-r, a Hoosier.

" I havebeen expecting daily to hear the bell toll," was the exclamation of a father whose child had been sick, but was recovering. Il had been ?iear the grnve — and the pnrent daily expected the bell of de.-»th would peal oul its funeral noles for the fondly loved nnd early losl.
Buys, the bell has lolled "many a time and oft," this passing yenr. Its solemn tones have carried an additional pang of sorrow, and sunk lower still the hopes of many whom yuu know. Ifyou will think, for n liltle lime only, you will miss playiiiaies—some a father—some a sister—some a brolher—some a young and fnithfnl liltio friend. The bell has lulled for them, and, sooner or later, its sound will siimmuu your friend.-^ to follow you to the gr.ive yni-d. It may toll before this hand shall address yon ngain. The i ivisible messenger may be on your door step now, and the coflin may c.ime to-morrow.
Think not, young friends, becnuse we speak thus seriously, that we would throw over Ihe bright hopesof boyhood n piiM that shall shut the sunlight of pleasure from your path, or heap up ob- stai-les in yonr w\y to happiness. But, while in tbe midst of enjoyment—on the spots which yon love, nnd the studies vou are pursuing—in the school room— on theplay ground—at homo—at night— in the morning—nt all tinies, vve would hove you conduct yourselves so as 'to feel content, that when you hear the bell toll for others, yon may be so situated that when it tolls for you, sorrowing friends may say the early taken was ready.
Are yon on the play-ground, or nl your lesson, or wherever you may bc ; does the bell loll 1 Pause, some one is on the way lo where the weary areat rest. Reflect! It may toll for you the next lime. How careful, ilieu, should be your intercourse with playmates, sisters, bro¬ thers, ami parents. You would not like lo go down to the grnve, unforgiven by those nround, if you hnve oflended ihem or iflhey have ofl'ended you ; you would not love to tllink, vvhile lying upon your last bed, that on angry playmate's oyes vvere upon you. Yuu would shudder, lo know that harsh words or unkind acls towards sister, or brolher, or parents were haunting yuur last hours. Such thoughts would be poor company llieii. How Iiecessary it is to be kind and obe dieiii, lo be forhcaring, to forgive, to nvoid olience, you all can see. Nor are these things hard lo be put into practice A spirit determined to do righi—a lib¬ eral view in regard to the failings of others, will always secure yon true friends among your associales, nnd tbe best friend of all, an undisturbed con¬ science.
The bell must toll for nil. Our own knell will be rung out, uiilicared by the ear in death, and heedless of the iron tongue which tells, of a spirii departed. But iiear and dear ones will henr it—anl us the heavy penl falls upuu heavier hearts so shuuld all live llint the fall may be ligheneil. Let this be yuur aim — and whother in the discharge uf yonr home duties, iu the sc.'iuul-r.iom, the pla,-ground, the church, or the Sahbnth- school -reiUL-mbcr liie bell must loll— and, daily expecting it, so act that when It sh.ill have lolled foryou, whether yet lhe b.iy at the task, or the man high in ii:iiiie and fame, wielding an influence overnaliens, ihuse lefi behind mny have the salisfaclion of saying that you wcrc ready for the final summons—and that solemn tone which announced the burial uf the body, give assurance to weepinu friends ihnl the deparled had lived "ex¬ pecting daily to hear lhe bell toll."
[I3r* Ifyou don't wish lo fnll in love, keep nway from calico. You cnn more play with girls without losing your heart, than yun con piny al roulette wilhoiit losing your money. As Dobbs very justly observes, the heart-strings ofa womau, like ihe tendrils ofn vine are always reaching out for somethiiiff to cling to. The consequence is, that before yuu ore guing yuu nre "gone," like a one-legged stuve at an auction.

The Am-;;F. of Ti.nii.—The following beautiful extract, is from a lecture deliv¬ ered before the Neiv Yurk Jlercantile Librnry Arsoi-iniiun, in March, 184-9, by Rev. George VV. Bcthi iic. "During a recent visit to the Ynitcd Stnles Mint, I observed iu the gold room, lliata rack wns pinced over live floor for us to tread upon, and on inqutriiig its purpose, I was nnswcred that it was lo prevent the visitors from carrying avvay with ths dust of their feet the minuiest particlo of the precious metal, which despite of tho ulmost cnre w-onld full upon the floor -.vliefi the roughest edges of the parls were filed ; nnd that tJic sweepings of tbebuildings saved thousands of dol¬ lars a year.
